MONEY MARKET AND OOMMXRCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The inquiry for money to-day in the discount market has been rather extensive, but as the avail• able bllances of bankers and others are abundant, competition is excited, and the commercial public are thus enabled to obtain accommodation on terms per cent. below the minimum of the B ink of England, The charge for the best paper has ranged from 6,1 per cent. upwards. About £35,000 in gold wai taken into the Bank on Saturcay. The Seine has arrived from the West Indies with £224,161. Business in the manufacturing districts during the post week has presented indications of improve 'tent. At Manchester prices for cotton yarn ware firme r during the last few days, and the textile fabrics of Leeds, Hwidenfield, Halifax, Bradford, and Norwich were in good demand. At Sheffield, however, the several bronchus of industry showed Blight indications of dullness, but at Birmingham larger orders were being received. Two O'CLOCK. There bas been a decline of 3-16 this morning in the market for the English Funds. This down -ward movement has been accelerated by the un favourab►e feeling with which foreign politics are now viewed. Consols are 90 4 for money, and 90i for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 894 4; Exchequer Bills, ss. die.; and India 5 per Cents, 1044 d. The Foreign Market presents a dull appearance, and quotations are very depressed. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 714 4 ; do. Consolides, 481 ; Mexi can, 444 8; do. New Loan, 4 die. 4 prem ; Oreek, 244 A ; Spanish Passive, 324 4 ; do. Certificates, 104 ; Russian Scrip, 44 a prem.; Swedish 34 prem.; and the Confederate Loan, 62 64. Business in the Railway Share Market has re= mained very inactive, and few changes of import . ance have taken place in values. North Western have declined 55., while Midland have improved 6s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain inactive, at about former rates. For Bank and Miecillaneous Shares there is a very limited haul ry, without any material altera tion to report in values. City Bank realise 135, Imperial Ottoman in, I, London and Westminster 94 i, Hudson Bay Comp-,ny 198, -and Chamounix hotel Shares are quoted prom.

A PRETTY PLAIN HINT TO THE ROYAL A .CADEMY.—The House of Commons will not allow t ito Natienal Gallery to be removed from Trafalgar. square to tho site of Burlington House. Nor can we wonder at tb .e resolution. Four years ago a vote of £17,000 was te.ken on the understanding that the pictures were tore -1:n ain where they are, and such a vote can hardly be with • ( 2 1 4 t its force in the minds of men who deliberately passed I t. There are, in our opinion, only two available sites in 4'e idon—South Kensington and Trafalgar square. A gal ler) - built in South Kensington might be made to unite all tl tt national treasures under one roof—the old masters and the modern masters Nowhere else can this be done—for N otwe of our best pictures of the English school have been left t o the public on the expressed condition that they are t o be exhibited there. A gallery in Trafalgar -square' has great t he advantage of a noble site and of a central posi tion. Piccadilly, midway between the two, escapes the :raction offered by each. The modern school could not tie removed to it; and it would certainly be further from th e public and from students of Art. This vote puts an end to the dream of the Academicians. What will they ot!er next? They cannot long remain where they are— for if the national pictures must be hung in Trafalgar- Nuare, every inch of available space will be required for that Purpose. The Academy is rich; let it build e piece for its e lf. It declines to become a national institution— then let it have notice to retire from the occupancy of cur 114t10 49,1 property.—ArAmetios, -11},re' 13.14. v. 114 Wol., and Str.

THI SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVE.NING, JUNE• 13, 1864. MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled quiet, yet no change took place in prices compared with the previous week. In spring corn a fair business was transacted at late rates. The flour trade was steady on former terms. We learn from New York that an improvement had taken place in the value of wheat and flour, and that a moderate business had been done on English account. On the Continent very little change has taken place in the value of cereal produce. Small supplies of Fnglish grain were received up to our luArket last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 6,835 quarters of wheat, 3,750 barley, 13,170 oats, 1,089 linseed, 3,015 oilseed, 120 sundry seeds, 53 sacks and 7,897 barrels of flour. At the close of business the bulk of the supply had been disposed of at the full prices current on Monday last. CURRENCY PER IMPERJAL MEASVII,B.

There was a full average supply of each kind of foreign stock on sale in to-day's market, but its general quality was very middling. Sales progressed slowly at about stationary prices. Cumpared with Monday last, the arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were only moderate, but they were quite equal to the demand. From Scotland the receipts were seasonably good, viz., 462 Scots and erosses from Fifeshiro and East-Lothian, and 196 from Aberdeen. The show of Irish beasts were limited. All breeds met a dull inquiry at last week's decline in the quotations--the top figure being 4s Bil per 81bs, The quality of the stock was good. A few grass fed beasts were on offer. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,000 Scots, crosses, and shorthorns ; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 6.58 Scots and crosses ; and from Irelaud, 80 oxen and heifers. Tile show of sheep was seasonably good both as to num ber and quality. The mutton trade was in a sluggish state at last Monday's currency. The general top pi ice for I Downs and half-breds were 5s per 81bs. Good and prime lambs were in steady request at full prices, Inferior lambs were dull at late rates. Prices ranged from 6s to 7s per Sibs. W e have to report a slow inquiry far calves—the supply of which was moderate—at Thursday's decline in value.

The accounts at hand from the plantations today are more favourable, and the hop trade, generally speaking, is quiet.

The imports last week amounted to three bales from Boulogne and 75 bales from New York. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Old potatoes—the supply of which on sale continues large—are a dull inquiry. A few superior parcels have changed hands at 60s, but the more general top quotation is 508 per ton. Inferior produce is eelling as low as 20s per ton. The arrivals of new potatoes have increased ; never theless, a steady business is passing in most qualities, and prices rang; from 7s to 108 per owt. The import into Lon• don last week was very small, WOOL. The publio sales of oolonial wool were brought to a close on Wednesday last. They opaned with firmness, but in consequence of the Bank rate of discoun tbeing 9 per cent, no improvement in prices was then realised. The subsequent fall.in the value of money was productive of increased acti vity in the demand, leading to an advance in prices ranging from id to lid per lb. There was a good demand throughout the , series, but the transactions were for the most part on French account, about 30,000 bales having changed hands for shipment to Havre and other French pits. During the progress of the sales 102,235 bales passed the hammer, consisting of 15,808 bales from New South Wales and Queensland, 42,164 Victoria, 1,732 Tas mania, 16,406 South Australia, 2,091 New Zealand, 2,078 Western Australia, 14,293 Cape, and 663 hales from sundry ports. Generally speaking, the quantity and condition of the wool was excellent, and in several instances the in creased finene:z and length of staple fully compensated the buyer for the enhanced price paid.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE.--Mr William Marshall, of No. 4, Paper-buildings, Temple, and Mr George Ennis Vivian, of No. 5. Clarence-street, Greenwich, were charged before Knox with being drunk and fighting in Regent street. Inspector Wilson, C division, said—O n Saturday evening about a quarter-past 10, while in company of inspector Silverton, I saw a crowd of persons in Regent-street, and on going up found the two defendants fighting tegether in the roadway. I heard a gentleman say to Marshall " Give it to him. Let him have it." Marshall then struck Vivian, who fell and was quite stunned by the blow, and could not stand. Both defendants had been drinking—Vivian the worst of two. I took Marshall into custody, and Silverton took Vivian. Inspector Silverton—l was with Inspector Wilson and iNv the defendants fighting. I heard Marshall say after striking Vivian, "That will settle him." Mr Marshall said—l had dined at Verey's with a friend, and so far from being intoxicated we had only had one bottle of champagne between us. On passing down Regent'• street I was grossly insulted by Vivian. I immediately turned round and struck Vivian, atu after a few blows had been exchanged I knocked Vivian down. The police then came up and without knowing anything of the cause abused me. On arriving at the station they refused to admit my friend. Vivian also abused me at the station, and although I claimed the protection of the acting inspector, no noticb was taken. One of the inspectors said I was "no gentle man." All I have stated I have a friend in court to corroborate. Sergeant Basen, acting inspector at Vine-street Police station, said—On the defendan ts being brought in and Marshall not,ba although he had been wanted bail, and bail charged I took the charge in the us ual way. Vivian was d w r a i tyros k drunk, The but d the efe n o d t a b n e t r was l was taken at a quarter past 11. No person appealed to him for protection, neither did he hear either of the inspectors say Marshall was "no gentleman. Mr. Marshall—l'll swear the expression was made use of. When it was found who I was they altered their tone, and were quite respectful. Mr Knox—ls it not the case, Mr Marshall, that, having been dining, and having taken a glass of wine or two, you were excited—the more so, as you allege you were insulted ? What was the nature of the iasult? Mr Marshall—l had taken no more wine than usual, and was not excited. Vivian put his hand en my person as I was walking arm-in-arm with my friend. Vivian—l had been drinking too much, and was Rot accountable for my actions. Mr linos—lf you are guilty of what Mr Marshall states, is a most abominable thing. Major Ray, of 2, Queen's•gate-place, Kensington, said? I had been with Mr Marshall in the country all day, and after dining at 'V erey's we were walking down. Pogent street. Suddenly Mr Marshall lett my arm, and then came back, saying "That man has indecently assaulted me." Mr Marshall then knocked Vivian down, and I think acted quite right. I should have done so myself. Mr Knox—As a magistrate I cannot say that. Mr Mar shall should have given Vivian into custody. _ Major Ray—l was telling the inspectors what happened when they came up, but they refused to hear me. At the station-house they refused to hear me, telling me that I must wait till I got before the magistrate. They were very uncivil. On offering to bail Mr Marshall they said they could only do so en seeing my last receipt for poor-rates. I told them I did not carry it about in my pocket, and then left and got a person to bail Marshall. Mr Knox--I shall discharge Marshall. Having been subjected to such an in su l t as he sta t e s, it was a most natural thing for him t o d o as he did. With reference to any incivility from the p o li ce, a l l they sa w was two men fighting and one knock d own the other. Mr Marshall—They tre a t e d me like a pickpocket, and it was at my own suggestion I went to the station. Mr. Marshall then left the bar, and was examined as a witness. He said—l was walking arm-in-arm with Major Ray, when I suddenly felt a man run against me and put his hand on my persou. I sai d , ic y ou . scoundrel." I struck Vivian, the man, and knocked him down. The NoliCe— Mr Knox—lf you are aggrieved at the conduct of the police you can apply to Sir 1.. Mayne. Mr Marshall—l will swear the inspector said I was no gentleman. Mr Knox—Was Vivian drunk ? Mr Marshall--I should say her was. • Vivian—No one more regrets what has bappened than myself. Mr Knox—You get drunk, commit an indecent assault, and afterwards in fighting you are knocked down. I can not justify Mr Marshall's d o i ng that, but I think every body will say his conduct was excusable under the circum • stances. I shall order Vivian to find one bail in £5O to keep the peace for 6 months, and he may think himself fortunate he is not at the sessions. WEST M IN ST ER. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON TILE POLICE. —Henry Oliver, a painter, was charged before Mr Selfe, with violently assaulting Constables Leonard 57 B, and Archer, 97 B.

Mr. St. Clair Bedford, the coroner for West minster, opened an inquiry this day at the Charing cross thspital on the body of one of the sufferers from this fatal calamily—Mr. Esau Trigg, of Brighton, who expired at this institution on Fri day from the injuries he received when the collision occurred. Mr. L. Crombie, solicitor to the South Western Railway Company, and Mr. Edward Clarke ap peared on be h ilf of the brothers of the deceased ; and Mr. Rawlins appeared for Lee and Trainer, the darer and fireman of the trains. The jury having been empanneled, proceeded to view the body, and on their return to the inquest- room, The coroner said he merely intended on this occa sion to open the proceedings, in order that the relan tions of the deceased might remove and inter the body. Henry Trigg said-1 reside at High-street Wandsworth. The deceased, Esna Trigg, is my brother. He was 40 years of age, and carried on business at Brighton as a licensed victualler. I know nothing further. I was not present at my brother's death. Dr. Canton, of 30 Montague-place, and surgeon to the Charing-cross Hospital, said, I saw the de ceased soon after his admission to the hospital. He was suffering from a severe contusion on the right elbow, and a lacerated contusion on the left one. Four of the lower ribs on the right side were broken, and the lungs had been externally rup tured. The whole of the right leg was severly brused. There was a fracture of both bones of that leg close below the knee-joint. That was the ex • tent of the injuries. I attended to the deceased until his death, which occurred ou Friday last, at half-past one in the morning. About two hours before his death symptoms of coiapse occurred. The inquest was then adjourned until the 27th inst. The Last of the Shaksperes. The following letters have been addressed to the editor of the Times : Sir,—The starling Shakeperian communication in the Times of yesterday is indeed well noted by you as " wonder. ful if true," and if you had written "miraculous" for " won derful" you would hardly have been far wrong. Extraor dinary things, however, do turn up in this world, and it is certainly within the limits of possibility that a descendant of Gilbert Shakspere is still among us. The verification of such a pedigree would beat any peerage case yet recorded, and surely your correspondent cannot, at all events, object to publish the preliminary evidence—that which is sup posed to link Shakspere'a brother with an ancestor of the present George Shakspere of Wolverhampton. The pro duction of that testimony would at once enable any one ac quainted with the subject to decide whether the case were worthy of further investigation. Few things of their kind are so easy as getting up a pedi gree in a loose sort of way ; hardly anything is so difficult as the production of one of a long series of descents which can bear the test of a critical investigation. If you are bent on reaching accuracy in this pursuit—and I cannot conceive, in a literary point of view, that any name but that of Shakspere is worth the enormous and insipid trouble—you must doubt at every step, and aim at the attainment of more than legal evidence. Tombstone and register testimonies are at best only presumptive, and identity of name is too often admitted as proof of identity of person. Suppose one of many similar instances, the rather as the uncertainty of the particular kind of evidence has been overlooked in the numerous discussions which have lately taken place on the truth of alleged cases of great longevity—Thomas Hotham, son of Richard Hotham, of Shelley, dies in 1820 at the reputed age of 100. there being the following entry in the registry :—" Thomas, son of Richard Hotham, baptised 20 June, 1720," We will suppose that the evi dence is complete, that the Thomas who was born in 1720 is be son of the same Richard whose son Thomas died in 1820. Would Mr Baggage himself require better evidence ? Hardly, if it did not occur to him that it frequently hap pened that a child was named after a deceased brother or sister; so that the Thomas who died in 1820 may not have been born until 1740, the Thomas who was born in 1720 having died before the birth of that Thomas who was born in 1710 and died in ISM. I merely name this to show the risk of drawing inferences in such matters even when the even when the evidence appears to be com Pete. To prove the case confided in by Mr Coleman would require a con currence of discoveries that would be literally preternatural. If I recollect rightly, there is a case something like this in the pedigree of the Shakspere family, which, in itself, sup plies another example, in respect to the member of it alluded to by your correspondent, of the extreme uncertainty atten dant on genealogical investigations. Gilbert Shakspere, the poet's brother, was born at Stratford in 1566. One Gilbert Shakspere was buried there in 1612, and it is by the merest accident, that of the term " adolescens" being appended to his name in the burial register, that the two persons have not been taken for the first and the same. It is surmised that the Gilbert Shakspere, who died in 1612, was the poet's nephew, and Malone, who had access to materials now lost, asserts (" Malone's Shakspere," ed. 1821, ii. 615) that the elder Gilbert, Shakspere's brother, certainly died before his son. Unless Mr. Coleman can bring forward certain evidence to the contrary, the probabilities are in favour of the elder Gilbert and his issue having died before the year 1616, the great dramatist not mentioning any of them in his will ; for those who have studied the subject with any care know that the probabilities are in favour of Shaks pets having been intensely affectionate in the three capa cities of son, husband, and brother. His wife may have been provided for by dower, as Mr Knight suggests, or in one 01 three or four other more, or, at least, as probable ways; but brother , and sisters and their children were, comparatively and legally speaking, outsiders ; and we may rest assured that any of them whe were living in 1616 would have been mentioned in the will in one way ar other. Joan, his sister, is the only one of sisters or brothers alluded to in that document, and in a manner that suffices to prove Shakspere's affection for her. Now, so far from there being, as Mr Coleman imagines, " no living descendant of our great poet's family,' if George Shak spare of ‘Volverhampton be not one, there are at least a dozen, but more likely 20 or 30, persons now in existence whose descent can be traced with accuracy from Shak sp arc's sister. The early portion of the pedigree from Joan is well knewn and admitted, and I an in pos session of a vast accumulation of materials respecting the Hart family, into which she married, by means of which the present descendants could be accurately determined. The family descending front Joan Shakepere spread out in the last century into several branches, the only one of which not yet traced being that (if any) which sprung from the union of Catherine 'Hart, daughter of William Shakspere Hart, who was born in 1745, and who married one Brad ford, of Birmingham. Perhaps some one may there be found to tell us whether any arose from that union. I have never put these materials inte order, nor, indeed, taken much troub e beyond noting everything relating to the subj , et which has .ccurred during the progress of many years' researches into kindred matters, their being no lite rary value attached to the investigation of the descent from Shakspere's family, and not having been inclined to under take the responsibility of collecting and distributing sub scriptions among the present numerous descendants of Joan Shakspeare. Having, however, long felt an inclination to be of service to the ascertained descendants of the poet's beloved rela tives, it you will most kindly give are the opportunity— this letter is written in the hope that you may do so—l ven ture to make this off: although I must decline to be the distributor of funds ; yet if any of the numerous wealthy readers of the Tancs will signify their intention of lending a helping hand to those descendants of Joan Shakspere who may need one, and whose title to the distinction can be fairly proved, I will spare no pains to complete the re searches that may justify the direction of their generosity — a generosity which will no doubt also amply suffice for the requirements of the case Mr. Coleman has so kindly taken up, if the claims of George Shakspere can really obedient be sub stantiated. -1 am, sir, with sincere respect, your J. 0. HALLIVIELL. servant, St. Mary's-place, West Brompton, -Tune 10. Sir, —Following the Tercentenary Fete of the poet ap pears a discussion as to whether there are in existence any male descendants from his father. This may be a very in teresting subject to some, and I daresay that registers will be rummaged over and tombstones examined by the curious with a hope of making a satisfactory discovery. For myself I hove always understood thafr I was de scended from Gilbert Shakespear ; but I can only prove that my great grandfather was John Shakespear, an alder man of the city of London somewhere about a century since, He may have been the grandson of Gilbert Shakes pear. I shall be much obliged to any one who will have the kindness to drop me a line should they in their researches come across the father of the alderman.

Her Majesty's message upon this subject having been read by the clerk at the table, Earl GRANVILLE moved that her Majesty's gracious message be :taken into consideration. His lordship com menced by tracing the brilliant career of the late Earl of Elgin from the time of his leaving Oxford until his death in India. He said he had no doubt their lord ships would readily concur with the recommendation of her Majesty to recognise the services of the . late Earl l of Elgin, who was struck down by the fatal climate of ndia. by granting Lady Elgin £l,OOO per annum. From the Indian Fund £l,OOO had been already voted, by which arrangement the combined pension would then amount to £2,000 per annum. The Earl of ELLENBOROUH felt great pleasure in endorsing all that had fallen from the President of the Council in his eulogy of the late Earl of Elgin. As a public servant the deceased nobleman had won the gratitude or the whole nation, and it was much to be regretted that for tune had been so capricious. No appointment had ever been made which had given greater satisfaction to all parties able, prudent, resolute, unimpassioned, he appeared to be of all men the best calculated to act in the true spirit of his wise and beneficent roclatnation in India. We acknow ledge his worth, and all that remains for us to do is, as tar as we can, to make such provi4ion for bis bereaved widow, that anxiety for the future may not increase the poignancy of the grief she must ever retain in contemplating the memory and the glory of her noble husband. The Earl of DERBY could not deny himself the pleasure of paying a brief tribute to the memory of the late Lord Elgin. He had watched with great interest the brilliant career of the deceased nobleman from the time ho first left England for Jamaica. In all his subsequent actions he bad well maintained the honours he had won, and he could not 14 the present occasion pass without bearing his testimony to the excellency of his character, and his admiration of his conduct as a public iran. The mction was then agreed to. THE WEST RIDING ASSIZES. Lord WHARNCLIFFE moved that an address be pre sented praying her Majesty that the late decision ordering the removal of the West Riding Assizes from York to Leeds, instead of Wakefield, be reconsidered. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.---This E vening. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.

HERNE BAY, HAMPTON AND RECULVER FISHERY BILL.—THE OYSTER SUPPLY, On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Sir E. DERING moved that the bill be read a second time this day six months, He founded his amendment on the fact that about an area of nine miles, which was directed to the supply of the public with so essential an article of consumption as oysters, was about being absorbed by a private company. Sir B. BRIDGES seconded the amendment, and some discussion followed. The amendment was negatived without a discussion, and the bill was accordingly read a second time. HER MAJESTY'S SHIPS IN THE NORTH PACIFIC.

Pepper's Ghosts, The spectators, seated on benches as in a theatre er. lecture-room, see a stage in front of them, 'suitable for some kind of dramatic performance. Between them and the stage is a sunken chamber, the floor sor 6 feet below the level of the stage. The chamber is open at the top, but the opening is con cealed from the audience by suitably arranged boards and screens. Behind the sunk chamber, and at the front edge of the stage, is set up a large plate of plain or unsilvered glass, inclining for ward a little at the top, and so environed with painted scenery, as to induce the observer to lose sight of the fact, that he is looking at the stage through a glass. Living actors, dressed up in any way at pleasure, are in the sunken chamber, with avery strong lime-light or other light shining on them from properly placed; the actors and lamps the lamps being equally concealed from the audience by screens. The strong rays from the illuminated figures strike up in a slanting direction against the glass, and are then reflected to the audience. The glass has'such an inclination given to it, that this reflection shall be visible to the spectators generally. The effect produced, though scientifically plain enough, is practically very surprising. Supposing a young actress, dressed as a theatrically beau% tiful sylph or nymph, to be properly placed in the sunken chamber, and an intense lime-light shining on her, we see the reflected sylph .in the glass ; b u t no t k no wing that there :s any glass there, we seem to see a brilliant real sylph on the stage. If the actress-sylph, the living person in the sunken chamber, smiles or makes any gestures, the phantom sylph on the stage does the same; if she sings or speaks, we hear the sounds, and see the lips of the phantom moving. If the light of the lamps is made gradually to go out, the phantom disappears like a dissolving view ; and if a trap-door suddenly silently closes the top of the sunken chamber, the phantom disappears instantly. If the lady walks away from the sunken chamber, so does the phantom walk away from the stage ; and then, if an actor, dressed, say as a magician, should appear on the stage, he may seem to per form a little drama with the phantom, if distances and lights are properly adjusted. True, he cannot see the phantom himself; but he is guided towards its apparent position by marks, cues, or clues of some kind, If the glass does not extend all across the stage, he may pass from behind to the front of it, or vice versa, by an opening at the side, without the spectators detecting either the glass er the ab sence of it ; and he may thus carry on the details of many a curious dramatic plot with the phantom. If there are two or more actors and actresses in the sunken chamber, and two or more on the visible stage, the by-play may be greatly varied, and the effect wonderfully increased. If one of the actors in the sunken chamber is a sculptured statue or a plaster bust instead of a living person, a diversity of result follows from combining the phantom of a living being with the phantom of the copy of a living being.—Chambers's Journal.

AFRICAN STEAM SHIP COMPANY.—The directors of this company have issued their report, which is to be presented at the ensuing half-yearly meeting. After making a reserve for depreciation, defraying all expenses of navigating and maintaining the s!iips, insurance, and re pairs, discharging the cost of the intercolonial service, and augmenting the boiler and repair account funds, there remains a balance of £4,955 4s 10d, to the credit of the revenue account—out of which the directors recommend the payment of a dividend of 8s per share, free of income tax, for the half year ending 30th April last, being at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum on the company's capital. This payment will absorb £4,403 4s, and leave £562 Os 10d to be carried over to next half year's accounts. A FEMALE FEDERAL SPY.—The Detroit Tribune narrates the adventure of a Miss Pauline Cushman, who has been engaged as a Federal spy. It seems that Miss Cushman is an actress, and fell under suspicion at Louisville from having consorted with " rebel" officers. She was arrested, but she stoutly denied that she was a " rebel." In order to test the love for the old flag, she WAS asked if she would enter the secret service of the Government. She readily consented, and was at once employed to carry letters between Louisville and Nash ville. She was subsequently employed by General Rose. crane, and was for many months with the Army of the Cumberland. She visited the rebel lines time after time, and was thoroughly acquainted with all the country and roads in Tennessee, Northern Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, in which sections the rendered our armies invaluable service. She was twice suspected of being a spy, and taken prisoner, but managed to escape. At last, however, she si as not so fortunate. After our forces had captured Nashville, Miss Cushman made a scout towards Shelbyville to obtain information of the strength and position of the enemy, and, while returning to Nashville, was captured on the Hardin Pike, eleven miles from the latter city. She was placed on a horse, and, in charge of two scouts, was being taken to Spring hill, the head-quarters of Forrest. While on the way to this place, she feigned sickness, and said she could not travel any further without falling from her horse. Her captors stopped at a house on the roadside, when it was ascertained that a Federal s couting-party had passed the place an hour before. lirosviag that her guards had im portant- papers for General Bragg, the quick-witted spy seised the tact and schemed to use it to her advantage. Seeing an old negro, who appeared to commiserate her unfortunate plight, she watched her opportunity and placed ten dollars in Tennessee money in his hand, saying, ' Run up the road, uncle, and come back in a few minutes, telling us that 400 Fe ,erals are coming down the street.' The faithful negro obeyed the order literally, and soon came back in the greatest excitement, telling the story. The two • rebels' told him he lied. The old coloured man got down on his knees, saying—' Massa, dey's cumin, sure nuff; de Lord help us, dey is cumin.' Soon n Thinkingcame the h she hceh hadall challenge c o le duor d ser a bfbdt t uieo h p natt e i hat e t rebel lines The scouts at this believed to h o is w s o t o o n ry d , ed m s o o u ld n i t e e r d in th t e h ir a horses, and skedacdled for the woods.

She was taken to the head-quarters of Forrest, and he sent her, after a critical examination, to General Bragg. Nothing could be found against her until a secesh woman stole her gaiters, under the inner sole of which were found important documents which clearly proved her to be a Spy. She was tried and condemned to be executed as a spy, but being sick, her execution was postponed. She finally, after lying in prison three months, sent for General Bragg, and asked him if he had no mercy, She received from him the comforting assurance that ha should make an example of her, and that he should hang her as soon as the got well enough to be hung decently.
